STARDATE: AD: 2018.10.12 SR Shave #1025 ( DE Shave today)
Pre-Shave Lather / Hot Towel & Rinse / 15 Laps TM linen / 50 laps TM Strop
Gillette Aristocrat Aussie #15
Astra SP (1)
Doug Korn D7 / TGN Finest
Penhaligon's Endymion Shave Cream
Clubman Reserve Whiskey Woods Aftershave Splash
Endymion Concentre EdP
A bit late on the uptake this morning, and rather than tempt fate, as Mr. Murphy has been lurking, I opted for a DE shave today by dusting off the 15. Not much to say on the shave other than it is typical Penhaligon's perfection. Endymion is such a nice Oriental and surprisingly plays beautiful with the Whiskey Wood, and of course the Concentre is just stupendous on a Galactic level.
4- pass shave today, with the Gillette Slide Cha Cha. No cleanup needed and DSBBS ( G ). A Splash of the Clubman and 2 Vasilli's of the Concentre and was off to mow down some hair today.
Hope you all had a nice Friday, and a good upcoming weekend. I do apologize for the lack of Radio Shows, but once school is done I usually come home and pass out, as these 50+ yrs are not as spry as I was. I hope to get another episode going soon, and a few barber articles out. Keep your eyes on the Radio thread and over in Dave's Barbershop
Blessings to you all

Late entry..per usual for Saturday's Shave. So excited to be using this soap again and basically it is like jumping into a pool of Pear cobbler. Just awesome. The razor, brush, and soap performed as expected and the finish of the plumy, peary, botanical goodness of Pitralon topped everything off. One of the Top 3 aftershaves on the market IMHO
Finally getting around to trying the Creed Viking as well... OH YES, this is bottle worthy. Sharp,. bright and aggressive with hints of the above players in today's shave party. Worth the 3 bills.
3 passes -DSBBS and was time to cut some hair!
Hope you all had a great day!

Today was finally a late sleep in day.... 0600 LOL. This was the 1st of a few shaves with the Halloween offering by THB; Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde. Two soaps, two aftershaves, and two EDT's meant to stand alone or be mixed. A unique concept and every bit as good as all the other offerings from The Holy Black.
1st up Dr. Jeckyll: Vetiver Sandalwood and Citrus - Fanstastic.
Please see my Video review that will be up this evening in my VLOG, as well as my bet requirement for losing to the UTEs GRRRRRR.
3 passes DSBBS (G)(10)
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

Hope everyone is having a blessed Sunday!

Nice Boker
Wonderful Pics!
Great reads and pix, Dave. And the hurricane didn't have any ill effects in our neck of the woods other than heavy rain.
BTW, that Creed Viking EdP....I tried a sample of that, and it had no longevity on me at all. It was gone before I even left the store.
